	if not is_on_floor():

	var direction = (player.position - self.position).normalized()

Question

my mob should follow the player when he gets close enough,
but when the mob notices the player it just goes left and only left, what’s wrong?

because you use the “position” and not the “global_position”

its didnt work

Okay then put some prints in there and check if the positions make sense:

var direction = (player.global_position - global_position).normalized()
print("Player-position: ", player.global_position, "; Enemy-position: ", global_position)
print("Direction: ", direction)
